Meet the celebrity brides who chose not to wear the traditional red lehenga at their weddings.

IMAGE: Way back in 2017, when Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot in Italy, the actress chose a blush pink Sabyasachi Mukherjee lehenga.
With tropical floral motifs hand-embroidered in silk floss, the lehenga featured Renaissance embroidery in vintage English colours embellished with silver-gold metal threads, pearls and beads.
According to the designer, 'If Anushka was to get married in Florence, her lehenga just had to fit in.'
Virat too picked an ivory raw silk sherwani hand-embroidered in vintage Benarasi pattern.

The model, actress and chat show host cut a stunning figure in a baby pink lehenga worn with a matching sheer dupatta.

White and gold seemed to be the theme, with the bride and groom clad in gorgeous silhouettes in those colours.
Miheeka chose an Anamika Khanna lehenga, with hand-done zardosi with the finest form of chikankari and gold metalwork teamed with a woven gold dupatta.
According to the designer, the creation took close to 10,000 manhours to finish.
